A multi-object operation incurs communication or synchronization overhead when the requested objects are distributed over different nodes. The object pair correlations (the probab...
Existing privacy-preserving evolutionary algorithms are limited to specific problems securing only cost function evaluation. This lack of functionality and security prevents thei...
We present a shared memory approach to the parallelization of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic and a performance comparison with an existing message passing implemen...
In this paper, a novel variant of particle swarm optimization (PSO), named memetic particle swarm optimization algorithm (MeSwarm), is proposed for tackling the overshooting probl...
Abstract. Genetic algorithms have been a standard technique for engineers optimising water distribution networks for some time. However in recent years there has been an increasing...
